Alderdene, Lanchester

A spacious three bedroom semi detached home offering well proportioned accommodation, off street parking and a generous, low maintenance rear garden within the popular village of Lanchester.

Priced at £185,000, the property offers a practical layout with considerably more living space than buyers might initially expect. The ground floor provides a separate living room and dining room alongside a particularly long kitchen, while upstairs there are three bedrooms and a generously proportioned family bathroom.

The combination of three bedrooms, two reception rooms and excellent outside space makes this an appealing option for first time buyers, couples and families looking for a home they can settle into and make their own.

Ground Floor

The entrance opens into a central hallway, providing access to the principal ground floor rooms and stairs to the first floor.

The living room is a comfortable and well proportioned space, with plenty of room for a range of seating and furniture.

A separate dining room provides valuable additional living space. This could work equally well as a formal dining area, second sitting room, playroom or home working space depending on the needs of the next owner.

The kitchen creates a substantial and practical space with plenty of scope for cooking, storage and everyday family life.

A separate ground floor WC completes the accommodation on this level.

First Floor

Upstairs, the property provides three bedrooms, giving the flexibility required for family living, guests or home working.

The family bathroom is particularly generous and completes a first floor layout that makes sensible use of the available space.

Outside

Externally, the property benefits from off street parking, an increasingly valuable feature for village living.

To the rear is a generous garden which has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind. There is plenty of scope to create different areas for outdoor dining, seating and entertaining, while retaining space for children, pets or simply relaxing outside.

Location

Lanchester is one of County Durham's most established villages, offering an excellent balance between village life and accessibility to surrounding towns and Durham City.

The village provides a good range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, convenience shopping and local services. There are also numerous countryside walks and open spaces nearby.

Families have access to schooling within the village, including All Saints' Catholic Primary School and St Bede's Catholic School and Sixth Form College. Under the current Ofsted inspection framework, overall effectiveness grades are no longer routinely awarded to state funded schools, so buyers should review the latest individual inspection reports when considering local education. Ofsted Reports

Public transport is another strength of the location. Current services include the X5 and X15 connecting Lanchester with Durham and Consett, while service 6 provides connections towards Newcastle via Stanley, Burnopfield, Whickham and the Metrocentre. Go North East

For buyers looking for three bedrooms, flexible living space, parking and a good sized garden within Lanchester, this is a home with plenty to offer.
